Based on concerns from both the admin team and most users here, the lemmy.ml admin team decided to add wolfballs.com to our blocklist. There is just too much reactionary content that breaks almost all the rules we have here.
It’s natural for open instances like this one to develop blocklists organically, and so far we’ve only felt it necessary to block 2 instances. If there’s any concerns about other instances that we should keep an eye on, let us know.
Difference of opinion… Blocklist. That fits.
I don’t think you understand. This wasn’t a case of different opinions. This was an instance where the admins were aggressively promoting racism, vaccine misinformation and fearmongering, and staunch opposition to science. They had essentially openly bragged that, when faced with evidence, they would strongly prefer the opposite.
I really don’t want to dig anymore, but it’s bad.
On top of that, their idea of federation does not include the perspective of outsiders.
On the Ronald McDonald thing… who cares? Why are you that hypersensitive? Welcome to free speech. On the “Illegals” thing, that was referring to people from other instances coming on and down voting the crap out of things which was made pretty clear… so?
On the Dr Oz thing, I disagree. Somebody isn’t a RINO because they’re on the right and say they have compassion for trans athletes, but MANY now regardless of what side of the fence you’re on have a cult like belief that you either subscribe to 100% of an (assumed) political ideology or you’re canceled. But again, moron or not, free speech.
I have compassion for trans athletes, and trans people in general, I can’t even imagine what it must feel like to think you’re in the wrong gendered body for what your brain is telling you that you are, but I’m also not going to pretend that especially in the case of a professional athlete that a biological man doesn’t have a huge unfair advantage over a biological female. Changing your name and clothing, and even taking a bunch of hormones doesn’t remove that advantage. That simply can’t be ignored. This is only a thing because it’s been politically charged. If an athlete tests postive for PEDs they’re kicked out on their ass and labeled a cheater. But when they biologically have more muscle mass, more bone mass and all around more power it’s ignored you’re cancelled and labeled a “bigot”. Sorry, that’s bullshit. That’s simply ignoring the biological differences between men and women, if there wasn’t a diffeerence as some people living in a dream world actually claim, then why do trans people have to load up or hormones, hormone blockers, be prescribe other anabolics etc?
I’m for everybody living their life the way they want, but that doesn’t include disconnecting from reality to do it.
Welcome to free speech, where private entities can tell you to fuck off and get your own instance, but the government can’t. Fortunately, lemmy.ml is not the government, so we can tell cunts like you to fork off. Literally.
Disagreeing is fine, but not insulting other users. This is an official warning.
Thank you for proving my point, we have a difference of opinion so I’m a “cunt”. Thanks for showing your level of intolerance.
Hopefully you’re not also promoting “inclusion” other places. Because that’s clearly not something you believe in.

Fully agree. Unfortunately many people now consider it a personal attack when someone disagrees with their opinion.
If that opinion is to promote a genocide, of course it’s a personal attack.
You are being downvoated for, in my view, a very reasonable opinion. People are being social engineered into this woke or political correctness mentality badly. This shits scary. Remember seeing an interview done to a Chinese deflector warning about this and its similarities to Mao Zedong’s revolution in China.

That is one of the points behind federation. Instances can choose to remove federation for another site without infringing on the speech of anyone in the blocked site.
Wtf.
ive just added it on lemmur, i dont want lemmy to become yet another echo chamber, but i will admit the instance is reactionary
Extremely! Same dude I just agreed with on a reply called me a cunt (didn’t elaborate why) right below it. It’s the agree with me 100% on everything or it’s full on attack. Yet accuse wolfballs of being intolerant bigots. Good ol’ pot calling the kettle black!
